Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell is looking to bounce back from a minor hamstring injury he suffered in a race last week with a strong performance in the 100 meters at Sunday's Shanghai Diamond League meet.
American David Oliver will also attempt to defend his 18-race win streak in the 110-meter hurdles against a field that includes Chinese Olympic champion Liu Xiang.
Powell injured his hamstring during a 200-meter race last weekend at the Jamaica International Invitational in Kingston, finishing in last place.
The former 100-meter world record holder said he didn't expect the injury to affect him in Shanghai, where he'll face a stiff challenge from American Michael Rodgers, who was third in the 100 in Kingston with a time of 9.96 seconds.
